The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

I focused on the colors and overall look of the inspiration photo. I started with some PTI white linen paper. I used ranger hickory smokey ink cube with the dtp(direct to paper) technique brushed it across the paper. I added some pressure in areas to get a more saturated look. I really love the distress weather feel.

I stamped and die cut PTI Beautiful Berries stamp set in pale peony and lovely lady. I white embossed the sentiment from PTI Caligraphy Classics set. I added some white paint splatters for added effect. I finished my card with some clear sequins.

I got the berries at release but still haven't used them - you've inspired me! Your berries are gorgeous on that rich linen background. (The linen paper has been on my wishlist forever and I never remember to get it in my cart!)
